Flavor profile Jun-shu
Jun-shu — rich and umami-driven
SMV -24 with nigori genshu at 20-21% points to a very sweet, dense body, and acidity 1.9 adds some structure. The description stresses rich umami while aroma stays restrained, placing it in jun.

About
To preserve its freshly made flavor, the nigori sake is bottled soon after the new sake is pressed, and then stored entirely in refrigerators kept at a low temperature. To protect its quality and flavor in its unpasteurized state, the alcohol content is somewhat high. Add ice or water to adjust the strength to your liking. It is rich in umami and gentle on the body. This is namazake (unpasteurized sake). Keep it refrigerated, and once opened, drink it soon.
